State of blogging

This is a continuation of the previous post on the Pew Internet report, this one on the state of blogging. I’m surprised by the low rss use only because the bloggers that I know are all agog on rss. Read on…

8 million American adults say they have created blogs; blog readership jumped 58% in 2004 and now stands at 27% of internet users; 5% of internet users say they use RSS aggregators or XML readers to get the news and other information delivered from blogs and content-rich Web sites as it is posted online; and 12% of internet users have posted comments or other material on blogs. Still, 62% of internet users do not know what a blog is.
